To raise the recreational vehicle, place the jack (hydraulic or screw) under the main
frame rail. It must be just ahead of the front tire or just behind the rear tire.
Tire Replacement
Any service or warranty coverage on tires is to be handled by the tire manufacturer or the
store representing the brand installed on your recreation vehicle. They are not to be returned
to your dealer or recreation vehicle manufacturer.
If you have questions regarding your tires, contact the tire manufacturer.
Spare Tire Carrier (if so equipped)
If your recreational vehicle is equipped with a spare tire, it will either be mounted under the
unit (hoist) or on the rear bumper.
Hoist Mount
DO NOT exceed the maximum load capacities of 100 lbs. for the hoist. DO
NOT use air driven guns or impact wrenches to lift the spare tire to the travel
position.
Depending on your model, the spare tire may have (side or bottom) brackets or it will be
mounted against the underside of the recreation vehicle (flush mount) to give it stability in
travel.
Bracket Mount Travel Position
™ NOTE: If your spare tire is a flush mount application, it must make contact
with the underside of the recreational vehicle to insure maximum road clear-
ance and stability in travel.
Raising and lowering the hoist
The crank handle to raise and lower the tire will be located (fastened to the sidewall) in a
basement compartment of the recreational vehicle. Insert the crank handle into the crank
access port located either in the center of the rear bumper, or on the sidewall of the RV. Turn
the crank handle to raise/lower the tire. Two "crisp breaks" must be heard and felt to insure
the proper seating of the tire for travel.
™ NOTE: If the manual crank access port is located in a slideout, the slideout
room must be in the travel position to allow the crank to reach the mechanism
used to raise or lower the tire.
Securing the spare tire
To secure the spare tire in the travel position, put the steel hoist lift support located on the
end of the cable through the rim of the tire. The hoist lift support clips need to seat inside
the center hole of the tire rim. The valve stem of the tire MUST be pointed up (toward the
bottom of the RV).
